Exactly when i bought it back in 87 i listened to the whole album from start to finish that includes flipping the record over lol and i was amazed and nothing has really topped it in rock terms since.
the backstory of the song: Axl Rose wrote this in 1985 when G N' R were living in Los Angeles and playing gigs on the Sunset Strip. The song is about how they were so reckless, crazy and poor that the only alcohol they could afford was the Nightrain.
Nightrain= one of the only cheap wine-brands they could afford. They were so broke when they wrote this, that they slept with/at female fan's places in order to be able to eat there.😊 I believe that there enormus "hunger" /appetite for success, coming from the streets as underdogs made this the super-album it became. And you can hear that in the songs. The first strange thing I found in 87 when I got the album, was that I har one song as a favourite for two weeks, then another. So ut went on week after week, month after month. It went so far that I could sing along with Slash's solos. And still today, I can't get tired of the songs. I even got the vinyl with the original cover.😊
Your reaction to this(and the whole album) takes me back to being 16 years old(a long time ago!). Think I pretty much had the same reactions on first hearing- it was on cassette then😆- awesome, looking forward to more GnR 👌
Guns N Roses live at the ritz 1988 has some good performances of Appetite songs. A bit sloppy considering they had sound issues at that show but they bring the energy.
Landry S Yeah Axl’s mic went out at the end of Rocket Queen. Slash broke a string on his guitar, he had some sound issues etc. Even with all those issues I love that show.
my FAVOURITE Guns N Roses song of all and finally a youtuber did a reaction to the album version of it. Even though its even better 'live', thank you for this reaction. I rarely 'like' a video on youtube but you certainly got one for this reaction. Not having heard the song before brought back the emotions I felt when I was fortunate enough to hear this classic many years ago for the first time. Fantastic channel.
Yeah Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City and Nighttrain might be my faves from the album. Jungle and Sweet Child are great obviously, but also a bit overplayed on radio etc.
Yes I recommended this too. It's probably my favorite GNR song. But if he wants to rank each album, he might want to get through all the GNR Lies album, before the Illusion stuff.
As u have said about this album so far, in my opinion it is the best hard rock album. 0 weak tracks. 12 awesome tracks and amazing songs such as Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet child o mine.
Sorry but youre on crack…half the album is pretty good the rest is filler (weak)…you cant compare this album to classics like OM, back for the attack, those are a few examples but there was tons of better bands and albums at the time..for ex dirty looks was 10 times better of a sleaze/glam band than gnr…with all that being said i still say nightrain is by far the best song on appetite and easily a top 10 favorite of the 80s rock/metal scene but lets not say the album is a classic from top to bottom
Kick ass brother Rocket Queen...My Michelle...this might be arguably, from beginng to end the best hard rock albums of all times.. Especially if you consider it was there debut.. Keep cranking it up!!
There are just no other bands with this vibe. I grew up with four rock bands Metallica Guns N Roses Motley Crue and Poison then there was Warrant and a couple others.
As I've prob said before I absolutely love GNR and the whole Appetite For Destruction album!! Can you please react to Anything Goes next? One of my favs. As for the next albums I suggest more GNR, lol. Their Use Your Illusion albums also have some killer songs. November Rain, Don't Cry, Estranged, and Yesterday are all so good. If your looking for something from a girl Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill was a great album also. Thanks for another great reaction!! You're Awesome!! 💜
Man, back in the day, this song was a religion. I was actually able to record “Guns N Roses: Live From The Ritz” the first time it ever aired back when MTV actually played music. Then word got around, and I had to avoid lots of people. Now you can actually watch the whole concert here, on RUclips. I still think my friends and I watched that concert 100 times. At least.
Hey man I just found your channel, I'm enjoying your reactions so far, I'm subscribing right now. When you're done with the Use Your Illusion stuff you should react to Chinese Democracy, Guns N' Roses' infamous album from 2008, I haven't seen anyone react to it, literally no one. Some people don't even give it a chance because Slash isn't in it, but to me it's got some of their best songs overall. *There Was A Time* for instance is my favorite GN'R song. Anyway, I hope Stick will aprove it =) 🤘
I would look at the lyrics while reacting, if you arent already. Axl(usually) puts a lot of thought into them. And gives you more appreciation abt the emotion/feeling he puts into the singing.
I just clicked on this reaction video and it cracks me up because I probably have the same number of Pop Vinyl's behind me. Actually, I probably have way more. Lol
You should listen to a live version of this song since the studio version fades out rather than finishes. Chicago '92 is a good one. Also, you still have Rocket Queen from the album. Please react to the Tokyo '92 live version. Such an amazing live performance. Blows the studio version away (although do feel free to listen to the studio version- its great in its own right).
I love the video. And GnR are possibly my favorite band of all time (Appetite For Destruction is there best), but in this video, you look like you’re about to enter a collegiate wrestling match in the Carolinas. Is that almost a onesie?
Ok Doug check this out. Appetite is the highest selling debut album of any band EVERRRRRRR!!!!! This to me is the most complete and PERFECT album ever. Not one weak link or filler song. Oh no no no my friend. Every single song on this album is a BANGER and any one of them would be a hit single for any band. Flawless and absolute perfection 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not sure if you have done any reaction to Pearl Jam but the album "Ten" would bef be worth doing reactions to, also Audioslave the self title album or Chris Cornell solo stuff, "No one sings like you anymore"
I was thinking this doesn't sound the same as I remember...it was Locomotive from Use Your Illusion II that I was thinking about. Similar name. You should check that one out.
Guns N Roses really ONLY had two albums. Appetite for Destruction (1987) & Use Your Illusion l & ll (1991) GNR Lies was just a small EP that they released with a couple unreleased tracks that included Patience. They broke up after the Illusion albums. Axl did Chinese Democracy in the 2000’s but he was the only original member so it sounds NOTHING like a GNR album and isn’t considered a GNR album by fans. I wouldn’t do EVERY song on the illusion albums but I think you did many of the best songs on those albums: Civil War, November Rain, Dont Cry, Estranged, Coma, Live & Let Die, Knockin on Heavens Door, etc. I would say YOU COULD BE MINE, Locomotive, The Garden, Get in the Ring are some other good ones on those albums. It’s not as hard as the other albums more bluesy and punk. Fantastic though!
DANNO that was basically LIes minus a couple tracks. Just an EP they put out prior to Appeitite - basically a demo tape put out on their own label within Geffen after being signed
The Chinese Democracy album is garbage but I do really like the the first song on it which is self-titled 'Chinese Democracy'. Bought the album and was super-hyped after track number 1 but the rest took a severe nosedive with Axl's voice sounding more feminine throughout and really, really poor songs. As for the Illusion albums, I agree with exactly what you say and your choice of songs. I do however like 'Pretty Tied Up' especially after seeing it live in Tokyo '92.
@@Nickadoug okay i got u. I have been growing mine out since February. First time ever im doing this. Partially because of Covid19 but im committed. I was just curious. Thanks for replying back.
That's why it is STILL the highest selling debut album of all time!! The best!
Greatest album of all time
Exactly when i bought it back in 87 i listened to the whole album from start to finish that includes flipping the record over lol and i was amazed and nothing has really topped it in rock terms since.
@@lfcgero35 I totally agree.
I once hear it was Boston's 1st album but you're right this is #1. Thanks for that little piece of info
🔥🔥 NO SKIP🔥🔥
Thanks for being one of the few reactors who listens to gnr properly, not just the singles.
the backstory of the song:
Axl Rose wrote this in 1985 when G N' R were living in Los Angeles and playing gigs on the Sunset Strip. The song is about how they were so reckless, crazy and poor that the only alcohol they could afford was the Nightrain.
Have to do Rocket Queen. Another longer song but worth every fuckin SECOND
The outro solo is one of my fav solo's ever.
Nightrain= one of the only cheap wine-brands they could afford.
They were so broke when they wrote this, that they slept with/at female fan's places in order to be able to eat there.😊
I believe that there enormus "hunger" /appetite for success, coming from the streets as underdogs made this the super-album it became.

That and Maddog 20/20
Buddy of mine bought a case of night train. It's actually drinkable not too awful for a cheap wine.
That shit was so fucking cheap the label was BLACK & WHITE! &yes I drank it once like 50 yrs. ago & I'm still fucked up,like drinkinggasoline
@@discus1713Yeah,& your urine is also DRINKABLE but ONLY IN EMERGENCIES!🤠
Best rock song ever
sooooooooooo true
My favorite!

Slash was so wasted at that show he dont even remember that gig
It’s so good, so raw and so intimate. I’d take that any day over these huge stages with all the bells and whistles.
my FAVOURITE Guns N Roses song of all and finally a youtuber did a reaction to the album version of it. Even though its even better 'live', thank you for this reaction.

Fyi this song was written in about 30 minutes, while the band was out on the streets drinking their choice of cheap strong wine at the time nightrain.
What a fkn song . If I could like that twice , I would . You should have heard this when it came out , It was pure magic
The Whole Record is Awesome - A Real Hard Rock Masterpiece 🤘🤘
Can't wait for you to react to some old LIVE stuff from them! Cheers \m/
Kick ass brother
Rocket Queen...My Michelle...this might be arguably, from beginng to end the best hard rock albums of all times.. Especially if you consider it was there debut..
Keep cranking it up!!
either this or back in black.
@@capoditutticapos19 that wasn't even close to being ac/dc's first album.
They had all of Bon Scott's albums.
@@MikeJohnson-oc4rs I mean it is one of the best hard rock albums front to back.
@@capoditutticapos19 gotcha.
There are just no other bands with this vibe. I grew up with four rock bands Metallica Guns N Roses Motley Crue and Poison then there was Warrant and a couple others.
2pac said this was his favorite GNR song! Nightrain is obviously named after that cheap alcohol. Killer song!
Just a phenomenal song. Could so easily have been a single. Extraordinary album.
Locomotive from use your illusion 2 is a masterpiece by Guns N’ Roses that you should review
'A masterpiece'.......couldn't have described it any better
This band is the reason I picked up a guitar...lightning in a bottle
My favorite song 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Nightrain Tokio 92’ is amazing !!!! Is perfect !
Oklahoma City 1992.....check that out for Nightrain
As I've prob said before I absolutely love GNR and the whole Appetite For Destruction album!! Can you please react to Anything Goes next?

Masterpiece the whole fucking album
react to the whole chinese democracy album, but first do both Illusion albums.
right. very different style, but underrated.
Chinese democracy to me, isn't gnr. It's an Axl solo album.
@TideFan01 After Use your Illusion I &II, He should listen to Lies. At least that's real gnr.
Man, back in the day, this song was a religion. I was actually able to record “Guns N Roses: Live From The Ritz” the first time it ever aired back when MTV actually played music. Then word got around, and I had to avoid lots of people. Now you can actually watch the whole concert here, on RUclips. I still think my friends and I watched that concert 100 times. At least.

i think the version of Nightrain live from Oklahoma City 1992 is the best. Axl's voice is incredible from mid-way to the end in this version.
Great Video 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🔥
Fucking perfect album
Your Crazy might make your head spin! Because mine is still spinning from the albums debut.
I love the video. And GnR are possibly my favorite band of all time (Appetite For Destruction is there best), but in this video, you look like you’re about to enter a collegiate wrestling match in the Carolinas. Is that almost a onesie?
i like that u actually react loooll
If you get a pint glass half fill it with CIDER an then fill the rest of the glass with LAGER you've got a 'SNAKEBITE!'

What a great feeling i get it. I love them they make me HIGH
You already react to Sweet Child O’ Mine?
GODSMACK AWAKE. That album had hit after hit after hit after hit. Came out in 2000 the year i graduated highschool. Check that 1 out.
Night train wine sucks lol but love the song about it lol
I'm not sure if you have done any reaction to Pearl Jam but the album "Ten" would bef be worth doing reactions to, also Audioslave the self title album or Chris Cornell solo stuff, "No one sings like you anymore"
You know MR. Brownstone is a real person. He was known as the " Heroin Dealer to the Stars" at that time.Think he's still in prison.

Don't forget about live like a suicide.
DANNO that was basically LIes minus a couple tracks. Just an EP they put out prior to Appeitite - basically a demo tape put out on their own label within Geffen after being signed
Yah, under uzi suicide. Collector now. I sold a copy for $80 some years back. Slash's artwork was crazy on that sleeve.
DANNO Yeah I have a sealed copy and an opened copy. I also have that Lock & Loaded 30th Anny box set that has a remastered version.
The Chinese Democracy album is garbage but I do really like the the first song on it which is self-titled 'Chinese Democracy'.

the live version of this song from the Live Era album is actually better than the studio version in my opinion
Black album, Metallica: vulgar display of power, Pantera:
Night train is a great track. How long has it been since u started growing your hair out to get to that length?
I shaved my head last august so its been over a year lol
@@Nickadoug okay i got u. I have been growing mine out since February. First time ever im doing this. Partially because of Covid19 but im committed. I was just curious. Thanks for replying back.
REACT TO MY MICHELLE LIVE RITZ
Needs more cowbell
React to some Burzum
Night train was this high alcohol cheap booze the bums used to drink
AC/DC , For Those About To Rock.
You won't be disappointed!
Better than Appetite in my opinion.🤘
'Night Rain' NOT 'Night Train'! It was meant to be a alcoholic drink of some sort!
It was called nightrain
How can someone be so confidently wrong?
I see you can't play drums.
